Benefits of technology

The invention is a new glove with controls that people can use with their fingers without looking at the device. This allows for easier and faster use of mobile devices with one hand. The method for using the glove is also provided.

Problems solved by technology

Such controls, in the case of a runner or walker, impede their natural stride.
More importantly such controls cause the individual to look away from the running or walking path, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Additionally, answering mobile phones and manipulating controls on such phones often leads to distracted driving.
Such distracted driving causes significant loss of life and property every year.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]The present invention provides methods and a system for one-handed and eyes-free control of electronic devices, which is described more fully hereinafter. This invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the specific embodiments described herein.

[0032]FIG. 1 is a block diagram representing an overview of the method involved in controlling an electronic device with the instant invention. Step one [101] includes configuring an electronic device to receive signals from the Command Glove. Said configuration includes programming the electronic device to perform functions upon receiving a signal from the Command Glove. In the simplest version of the instant invention only one type of signal is sent to the electronic device from the Command Glove, representing closing of one circuit by touching the primary sensor to a single secondary sensor. Such a simple version of the instant invention controls two functions of the electronic device ...

Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY[0001]The applicant claims for this application the priority date established by provisional patent application 62 / 076,283, filed on Nov. 6, 2014.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to one-handed and eyes-free control of electronic devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Due to the multiple tasks performed while simultaneously controlling electronic devices, such as smart phones, the ability to perform such controlling functions without the need to look at the electronic device, and the ability to perform such controlling functions with one hand, would be advantageous.[0004]For example, people engaged in physical activity while also listening to their mobile audio / visual player often want to manipulate the controls (i.e. volume, tract select) of the device but do not want to interrupt their stride or continued activity by physically looking down at the device or grabbing a remote control to manipulate the device. Currently, means of control hanging fr...
